Dr Lekich is the medical director of Metrocentre. He is a Queensland medical graduate with a 15-year microsurgical background working in the field of ophthalmology and retinal microsurgery, hence his love of microscopes. He was originally pursuing a career as an eye specialist, working in a retinal clinic whilst studying for his basic ophthalmic exams, and then changed his pursuits from eye surgery to the treatment of varicose veins using endovenous laser and ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy (hence his love of ultrasound) and becoming a fellow of the Australasian College of Phlebology. This came about due to the serious blood clot his then-wife developed in varicose veins during pregnancy. It was his wife’s necessity to get off the oral contraceptive pill due to her venous disorder that led him to a decision for a vasectomy and after much personal research Professor Owen’s team to perform this as an Open-Ended Vasectomy.
Dr. Rhys Bennett is a dedicated physician who initially qualified in sonography. As he advanced his skills in general practice, he witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of long-term pain and chronic conditions on patients. This experience ignited his passion for venous health, prompting him to study Phlebology. Dr. Bennett is also committed to helping patients manage conditions such as Lipoedema and Lymphoedema. He focuses on both conservative management and surgical intervention, aiming to alleviate pain and improve the quality of life for those suffering from these chronic conditions. His dedication to venous health exemplifies his holistic approach to patient care.
